Ah! AI
Ah! The clamour for supremacy
Race for Artificial Intelligence
While we lose natural traits
Along with all kinds of intelligence
In this game of supremacy
All are falling behind
Be it China, US, UK or name any
All bear the similar shame
Shame of bartering poor lives
Trading away dreams
Violating privacy
Outraging modesty
In this magnificent churn
Of algorithms and time
Wonder who will survive
When the planet dies?
Let us pause out
Take a time out
Remove our heads
From the sand
Information ain’t knowledge
Machines aren’t human
Money isn’t the end game
Neither is power
When empires topple
It is the poor rebels
Who make it alive
While tyrants flee
Time spares none
Not even the sun or stars
We are mere mortal
Accidental stardust!
